All Natural and Organic Food Sourced Ethically from Moroccan Women-Run Farmers’ Cooperatives

Description

In addition to offering only the finest authentic Moroccan foods, Auzoud (pronounced "ah-zood") is committed to working with women and youth farmers from the High Atlas mountain region. This rural area is home to hundreds of olive, saffron and argan farmers, most of whom live without simple amenities like running water and electricity. Many of the farmers are single mothers hoping to send their children to school. Auzoud has been founded by the grandson of one such farmer. Our partner cooperatives are based on membership participation and fair trade, allowing women to feed their families and educate their children. Improving the socio-economic situation, health and education of women and youth has an immediate and lasting impact on the well-being of their families and the preservation of the local culture and community. We are working to expand the number of farmers we work with, in turn directly increasing profit margins for local farmers and most importantly, their quality of life. View our website to learn more about each of the cooperatives: auzoud.com Auzoud's mission is to empower Moroccan women and youth farmers as they obtain fair prices and a sustainable livelihood for themselves and their families.
